Chapter Seventy-Fifth: Repeating the old tricks - the trick has come]
() Xie Wuyou was very confused. He glanced at Yuwen Honglie but didn't say a word. Faced with Yuwen Honglie's proposal, Xie Wuyou hesitated.
If I really intervene in the struggle between the Yuwen family and the Bai family, the risk will be too great!
However, the condition offered by the Yuwen family is to give up half of the profits from the fire ore mine. This is another great temptation!
Therefore, Xie Wuyou was hesitating, hesitating, still hesitating.
"City Lord Xie, you and I have an alliance agreement. Now the Bai family has made it clear that they want to seize the flame stone mine of my Yuwen family. City Lord Xie, you can't just sit idly by!"
Yuwen Honglie showed a hint of anxiety, and his sitting body could not help but lean forward a little, looking at Xie Wuyou.
"Is Mr. Yuwen too filtered? My nephew is above the fifth level of the stars, why is he a member of the Bai family?" Xie Wuyou was still probing, and he couldn't make an easy decision yet.
"It's true that Xiaobao is the fifth level of the stars, but now that the Bai family is brazenly challenging him, he is confident and has nothing to fear. If City Lord Xie can help me, maybe my Yuwen family will be able to overcome this hurdle."
Seeing that Xie Wuyou still didn't say a word, Yuwen Honglie felt more and more anxious. He gritted his teeth and said:
"In this case, how about 60% of the fire ore? My Yuwen family only needs 40%, and the city lord's palace doesn't have to worry about mining, transporting, and buying and selling all year round, just a share, okay?"
Xie Wuyou's eyes twitched and he swallowed secretly, 6si! 60% profit!!
However, with just this thought, Xie Wuyou calmed down again and made his decision following Yuwen Honglie's words.
Xie Wuyou was still uncertain at first, but the more anxious he saw Yuwen Honglie, the more Xie Wuyou became certain that something was really going on with the Yuwen family this time, so instead, he pretended to be the one who helped Xie Wuyou make the decision.
"Mr. Yuwen, the Bai family is clearly challenging the Yuwen family. Our city lord's palace can't help even if it wants to." Xie Wuyou spread his hands and continued before Yuwen Honglie could speak:
"If Xie didn't have the attire of a city lord, he would go out of his way to help your Yuwen family. However, just because he is in his position, he dare not show favoritism."
"Our two families have an alliance!" Yuwen Honglie became even more anxious when he saw that Xie Wuyou was really starting to shirk.
Unexpectedly, Xie Wuyou casually took out the covenant book from his body, put his hands into Yuwen Honglie's hands, smiled and said:
"The alliance that Xie mentioned was to build a good relationship with the Yuwen family for generations, not to advance and retreat together as the Yuwen family thought. The 600,000 taels of gold given that day was just a free gift given to a genius like nephew Bao.
! Fortunately, this misunderstanding has been cleared up today, so this covenant will be of no use."
Yuwen Honglie stared at Xie Wuyou. He had never thought that a city lord would go back on his word like this!
"snort!"
Yuwen Honglie snorted coldly, tore the covenant into pieces, and quickly walked out of the city lord's mansion!
············
Yuwen Honglie walked into the ancestral hall with an angry face, and Yuwen Xiaobao immediately knelt at Yuwen Honglie's feet.
"Xiaobao, what are you..." Yuwen Honglie was stunned.
"Xiaobao caused grandpa to be humiliated in the city lord's palace. He really shouldn't have done it. Please punish grandpa!" Yuwen Xiaobao knocked his head to the ground.
"Oh, this is our Yuwen family's business. If you don't tell me to go and beg Wuyou, I will go anyway. What does it have to do with you! Get up!" Yuwen Honglie wanted to help Yuwen Xiaobao up, but Yuwen Xiaobao didn't.
Still didn't stand up.
"Actually... we don't have to be afraid of the Bai family at all. Xiaobao deliberately let grandpa go..."
"What did you say? Did you already have a countermeasure?" Yuwen Honglie interrupted Yuwen Xiaobao, not caring about his humiliation at all, and said hurriedly:
"Get up and talk! What are your countermeasures?"
Yuwen Xiaobao stood up, smiled coquettishly, and said: "There are seventeen of the ten level warriors of the Light Stars in Xiaobao's Baiyun City! If the Bai family really invites the Saint King level, then Xiaobao and I will naturally return the favor.
There are countermeasures to deal with it! The Bai family can't even think of taking any advantage from our Yuwen family!"
"...Then you still want your eldest brother to go to the city lord's mansion to ask for thanks without worry?" Yu Wen Honghua was surprised and happy.
"hey-hey."
Yuwen Xiaobao smiled slightly awkwardly and said, "Xiaobao wants to take the opportunity to get back the covenant from Xie Wuyou. After he takes care of the Bai family, he will give Xie Wuyou a hard blow!"
Everyone was startled!
Unexpectedly, Yuwen Xiaobao actually had such a plan? After everyone looked at each other, they all let out a sigh of relief and finally let go of the stone in their hearts!
Yes, seventeen ten-level star warriors, even if they face the Holy King, seventeen are enough to stop him! What's more, Yuwen Xiaobao also said that there are other countermeasures!
"If I don't deceive grandpa, I'm afraid I won't be able to deceive Xie Wuyou, so..."
"Xiaobao is so uneasy! I heard your third uncle talked about your Baiyun City when he came back. It must be very expensive. You also mentioned that maybe Baiyun City will become the rear area of my Yuwen family one day, so this is also the case.
Do things for the family!" Yuwen Honglie also smiled and said:
"I wonder how much Xiaobao will thank Wuyou in the future?"
Yuwen Xiaobao was stunned. He didn't expect Yuwen Honglie to ask this question. Therefore, not only Yuwen Xiaobao, but also everyone else was startled. They glanced at Yuwen Honglie in surprise and then turned around to focus on Yuwen Xiaobao.
"At least two million taels of gold!" Yuwen Xiaobao said with a hint of coldness in his eyes:
"Hmph! If he dares not to give it to me then, I, Yuwen Xiaobao, will depose him as city lord and take the seat myself!"
Everyone in the ancestral hall stared at Yuwen Xiaobao in surprise. The abandoned city lord sat down by himself?
Have you never heard of such a thing?
"Hehe." Seeing that everyone was stunned, Yuwen Xiaobao laughed softly and said:
"Grandpa, do you think this will work? Qiu Lie only allows ten people from each family to enter, so I will go in with nine stars and ten layers. The mine and Yuwen Mansion must also be on guard, just in case the Bai family takes advantage of the situation.
Wouldn’t it be difficult for us to take care of both ends? Therefore, I left three ten-layered stars, and the third uncle and his son were responsible for guarding the mine! The Yuwen family mansion was commanded by the fourth uncle and his son, and the five ten-layered stars were protected just in case; grandpa and uncle were outside the autumn hunting ground.
Pressure the battle!"
"Well, I think it works!" Yuwen Hongyi nodded and looked at Yuwen Honglie.
Yuwen Honglie thought for a while and said: "This way, every place has increased its strength. It should be fine. Okay! We will send soldiers to the Bai family to block it, and the water will cover it up!"
······
There is a huge swamp forest a hundred miles south of White Lion City, an area as large as two White Lion City.
In the swamp forest, the trees are intertwined and swirling, the fog is filled, accompanied by miasma and poisonous moisture, mosquitoes, rats, ants, snakes and tigers, there are many dangers!
The early morning sun had just broken through the fog in the sky and cast its light on the earth. People were already gathering outside the swamp forest, and each force occupied a corner.
On a high platform, Xie Wuyou surveyed the crowd with a cold eye, and was secretly surprised. He did not expect that the three-year autumn hunting competition in White Lion City would attract so many people to watch this year.
